DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS PROBLEMS

|Conversions Factors |

|1 hr = 60 min |1 min = 60 sec |1 ton = 2000 lbs |7 days = 1 week |

|24 hrs = 1 day |1 kg = 2.2 lbs |1 gal = 3.79 L |264.2 gal = 1 cubic meter |

|1 mi = 5,280 ft |1 kg = 1000 g |1 lb = 16 oz |60min = 1 hr |

|365 days = 1 yr |52 weeks = 1 yr |2.54 cm = 1 in |1 L = 1000 mL |

|0.621 mi = 1.00 km |1 yd = 36 inches |1 cc is 1 cm3 |1 mL = 1 cm3 |

DIRECTIONS: Solve each problem using dimensional analysis. Every number must have a unit. Work must be shown.  Conversion factors are given below

1.) How many miles will a person run during a 10 kilometer race?

2.) The moon is 250,000 miles away. How many feet is it from earth?

             

3.) A family pool holds 10,000 gallons of water. How many liters is this?

4). How many minutes are in 180.0 days?

5). If a person weighs 125 lbs, how many mg does s/he weigh?

6). The distance from Santa Maria to Los Alamos is 16.25 mi. What is the distance in cm?
